RE: Oracle8i Statspack

Statspack does not increase performance. It is an improved version of
utlbstat utlestat. You can find the install instructions on metalink. Once
it is installed you can take periodic performance snapshots and analyze. I
find it is really best at being an additonal source when diagnosing
performance trouble when a particular job is running. You can get some very
detailed info from the report regarding waits, latches and IO. There is a
pretty good book on the subject also called tuning with statspack I think.
DBMS_STATS is used to get table and index stats which is definately going to
help performance if you are running the cost based optimizer. Not a slam
here Chris but your questions are very basic and would suggest 1. you need
to read the docs and 2. you better learn a lot more about oralce before you
begin to worry about tuning your you database or you will likly make things
a lot worse. Make sure you get familiar with the the admin and concepts
manuals, www.oradoc.com, as well as all the others. Plenty of info will
also be found by making the google.com search engine your best friend. Type
in "Statspack" and "dbms_stats" and see what you find. Best of luck to you.
